The Disney Princess is the perfect archetype of easy natural inherent nobility and morality.
She is an artifact of inborn virtue, a born noble, irrespective of parentage.
With the naive careless values that come from an easy mastery of her domain
From this metaphysical nobility (occasionally paired with political nobility) she is reduced to the lowest station, a servant, a wanderer, a cripple, an enlistee
Only for her innate nobility to reveal itself and for her to win her rightful station and an apex man with it
It is basically the female equivalent of Conan the Barbarian
An idealized parable and fantasy of entering the world and after setbacks achieving social, political, and sexual preeminence through innate greatness and wilful self-assertion.
Notably, the values and morality of the Princess are always purely expressions of her will and instinct.
She is a friend to the animals not due to any axiom, but from her innate instinct to nurture, she is a bookworm not from disciplined instruction but from innate curiosity
The Disney Princess is simply the perfect avatar of her world and people, but she has one tragic fatal, all too perfectly Nietzschean weakness…
like the natural Chads and Stacies of Nietzsche’s pagan world, The Disney Princess is un-contemplative of motive and values.
She judges things by their obvious pleasantness and quality, the slow decades-long embittering of her lessers is beyond her comprehension.
The Princess’s most dangerous foe, is invariably an old, ugly, hook-nosed, unrelated (though some pretend), woman, who has years of neuroses and delusion built up, with attendant self-justification… and appears in the guise of a wise friend.
What did Walt mean by this?
These Villainesses either directly seek to poison the princess, or indirectly through poisonous advice and arrangements…
Like Nietzsche warns, these spiritual slaves seek to infect the princess with their values. Either to exploit her or destroy her.
.
Of course, this is an exact parallel with the most dangerous threat a beautiful young woman faced in the ancestral environment: The older Unrelated tribeswoman.
Men either wanted to win her or carry favor in case her husband died. But older women saw only a rival who could displace them and their kin, and being more established had better gossip networks to try and destroy her, and more influence to lead her astray.
One bad piece of advice could lead her to violate a sacred rule or falsely confirm an infidelity rumor planted by the crones.
Of course, as justice has been formalized these immediate lethal consequences have faded away, and gossip lost much of its potency… there may not have been a queen of Europe who wasn’t stalked by some rumor her thousands of rivals begat.
But from this, a new danger emerged, the threat of poisoned advice… toxic values, as poisonous or worse than the immediate rumor or slipped serum… toxic words that could wipe out an entire bloodline
Of course Walt was just harkening back to older stories…
Older bitter ugly unrelated women and effeminate men poisoning young girls with values and ideas meant to destroy them and their bloodline has no relevance to modern naive young American women, none at all…
As is the Disney princess has somehow survived into the 21st century an almost perfect archetype of healthy primal master morality, the Nietzschean ideal
Fit to raise a generation of Chadettes, and innoculate them against the threats of slave morality.
So ya, I’m going to have to apologize to some Disney-loving relatives for decades of eye rolls…
